Maybe I am stupid but I am struggling to understand the wording they are using in the regulations guide. I have been seeing nothing but doe's on my camera this season and am ready to get some meat in the freezer. I am on vacation next week and was planning on making a few hunts. I hunt area 4 so rifle is buck only so I considered bringing a primitive weapon so it would be legal to shoot a doe. This is a quote from the website from the primitive regulations section.
quote:

Either-sex deer may be taken in all areas open for deer hunting EXCEPT when a Bucks Only season is in progress. In such cases, hunters must conform to the bucks only regulations.

Just because it is buck only for rifle does that mean it's buck only for primitive firearm too?
Thanks for the insight.

What was making me doubt it was that some areas even in primitive season have some buck only days so I was thinking that maybe they meant it was only in those areas.

If your zone has an active buck-only season for rifle, you cannot harvest a doe. Period. It's a difficult regulation to draft, admittedly, but you can't just kill a doe with a bow during a buck rifle only season.

The issue is that someone could shoot a doe with a rifle then stick an arrow in it and claim that it was a bow kill.

All that being said, if you're hunting private land and there is a zone nearby that has an open doe season, who is to say you didn't kill it there?.... I wouldn't ever do that, but wlf would have a difficult case proving otherwise especially if tour tag reflected killing the deer at a time and parish open to doe harvest with a bow at that time... I'm just saying....

I've never done it but as my uncle once told me...

"That's an illegal deer. I would only kill it if I was by myself or with somebody else."

You can either sex hunt Nov 27-29 in Area 4.
